Patient Reviews
Oct 25, 2023
Dr, Merrell brought calm and confidence to our chaotic journey with brain tumors and seizures. He is knowledgeable, kind and has a sense of humor. He showed compassion, care, attentiveness and direction when our world was upside down. He moved from our local area but we are blessed to be able to continue to see him thanks to our insurance national acceptance. We've had two different local neuro-oncologists come and go yet Dr. Merrell remains a constant.
